    ski, I hear you...but then again I only ran her a bit conservative the first 1,000 miles (break-in) and now I'm almost up to 4,000 on the ODO and I can assure you that I've had her at WOT a few times to ensure I'm "cleaning the carbon out." :D

    Rich, I'm beginning to think that Ford really messed this one up...didn't the 2003-04 Mach 1 with the 305HP 4.6L run on premium? It's strange that they really wanted to push this 87 Octane on an engine that's supposed to be a high-perforance engine. I guess they thought they would scare off a...

    Cbus, I agree with your analysis...I will give it one more try on Shell 87. In Southeast Virginia, probably like the rest of the country, we've gone from it being very warm to very cold quickly, several times...which, of course, causes a lot more condensation...so there is that possibility...

    Edbert, you may be right...it could be a bad batch...so I may end up letting it get down (to about a quarter full) and then filling up with a fresh batch and see what happens...if it does continue, I will switch to mid-grade.

    I'm experiencing the same thing (light pinging when accelerating from 50MPH to 65 or 70)...I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that just about every gas station in this area is using 10% ethanol in its mix. I may try going with mid-grade next tank and see if that helps...I think Ford...

    Chipping paint on 06 GT???

    The key to claybaring is to ensure that you use the detailer lubricant liberally...even spray the stuff on the clay bar itself... Works wonders and claybar just enough so that the surface is smooth (use very little pressure with it)...then don't forget to re-wax your car.

    Loud noise after quick shift!!

    Most manual trannies are pretty tough...but anything and everything has a breaking point...I would take it in and have checked out...(next time try a normal shift...and your tranny will thank you for it)...

    GT-300?

    Simply a "lower side stripe" that you can purchase and put on your GT (indicates you're engine produces 300HP)...

    Yellow Driving Lights

    I like the yellows and I'm sure it's a lot easier on the eyes of your fellow drivers coming the other way...

    Stupid question, but valid

    Have them on only when I need them (i.e. fog, rain, lousy weather)...besides they're not that easy to replace...unless you like tearing apart your front grill...also if you use them all the time it will be Murphy's Law that you will need them and they will have burned out. Use them for what...

    Air and other filters

    bigcat, how easy was it to remove the old air filter and then install the new filter? Did you have to disconnect the MAF wiring connection to give yourself enough room the lift the top portion of the airbox?

    Is it possible for any mustang to beat C6 ZO6 on a street?

    I can tell you from my own experience...when the '05s came out a Mineral Grey attempted to take me (I was in my '01 Vette Coup...which I still own and drive mainly on weekends) from a stop light...he stayed pretty much with me until I hit 3rd gear and then I easily began to pull away from...

    Disappointed with new California Special

    I so somewhat agree that it is nothing more than a bit more dressed up GT. I personally can't see spending the additional $3-4K more on it....but to each his own...

    2 months old, some one hit and ran me.

    That sucks! I know I would be PO'd just like you. I hope you can get her in shape to your satisfaction!

    C&D Review: Vette vs. GT500: My take

    I love my 06 GT, however, I also own an 01 Vette Coupe and since I drive them both almost equally (actually I save the Vette for weekends and the Stang for work)...I can tell you from my own experience that the Vette has a lot more finesse in the handling and getting power down to the...

    I just noticed this...

    That's because there is no other car that looks like it... and it's instantantly recognizable...:D

    What type of oil...?

    marine one, I don't blame you! Give them Holy Heck! I don't think you would have caused too much of a problem...of course it depends on how many miles you put on her in that week... It always pays to check the oil level immediately after getting it changed (and allowing some time for it...

    Axle Moan Fixed

    Rambroo99, how's the noise now since it's been almost a couple of months? A lot of posters have had the TSB done for the axle moan and it seems to return after two or more thousand miles. I have it (currently 2,500 miles on the ODO) and I'm waiting this one out...

    Okay, how do I stop my hood from flying off?

    thrump rrr is right about the design (and aluminum material) of the hood and the large air pressure that develops under the hood...most people have found that by adjusting the outside rubber bumper stoppers where the latch is located has helped a great deal. You obviously want to raise them a...

    Sun Visor Sticker Removal...PICS

    Did you know that it's against the law to remove those stickers (penalty of death!)?:lol: Nice job...but you're right...there will always be just a bit of a telltale sign that they were once there...
